• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi,
I think it is going to be an exciting release of P3D V4. It is curious to me that there is no discussion about this on the FSdeveloper.com at all in the General chat.

http://www.prepar3d.com/news/2017/05/114164/

the release brings dynamic lighting, rain/snow particles, global 3D trees, a fully reworked software development kit (SDK), new default vehicles, and countless improvements.

There are a lot of work to do to improve the scenery to fit the new standard, aren't there?

I hope they add new airports, not derive the database from FS9 (as FSX does). It is more than 10 years now!

Bill, I thought NDA was lifted now? But maybe I misinterpreted some other statements.

Tic, I've seen recently, that LM partnered with Navigraph to create updated sets for terminal data incl. navaids mods, change in runway designations, frequencies, adding terminal procedures to default...
I'd expect them to publish a more recent dataset in new release. Don't know if they would be doing AF data changes as well
 
I see what is the reason behind.
However we can discuss by the screenshots or video that some developers have released, can't we?
I do love the dynamic light.

Source data is supplied by Navigraph and is compiled and converted every AIRAC cycle. Every 28 days a new dataset is ready in fsAeroData for download and installation into your flight simulator. fsAerodata updates the default Prepar3D database. An active subscription with Navigraph is required.

So, by default, the database in P3Dv4 is updated, isn't it?

It sounds like you need to have a subscription to another service for that, so not by default as I read it.
 
Another word, there will be no new airports in the database of P3D v4. Since the AFCAD file for each new airport and default buildings are derived from the program only not from AIRAC.
